" An interesting idea, and I liked the ending, but it took way too long to meander its way to where it was going. And the author assumes you have spent the last 20 years obsessing over the characters from Presumed Innocent; if you've never read it, or read it and forgot most of it (like I did), you're going to spend a lot of time wondering what the big deal is.

" Liked this much more than I did "Presumed Innocent". "

Lisa | 2/12/2014
" Well, it wasn't as good as Presumed Innocent! But I loved the characters and all the twists and turns that Turow takes you on, keeping you guessing until the very end. I loved the love between father and son despite a very imperfect relationship. A good easy read. "

" I couldn't stop listening to this book! I would have given it 5 stars, but I guess I was just a wee bit disappointed in the ending. Somehow I was looking for something a little more surprising or in your face... like the end of the first book, Presumed Innocent. Also, one of the reasons I loved this one was because I did read Presumed Innocent recently enough to remember what happened at the end... how Rusty's wife was involved there. I felt her secret should have or would have been exposed somehow. I guess I was disappointed that it wasn't. And if you hadn't read book #1 , I know you could really like this book, but I'm not sure you could love it without book #1. Both of these may not be reasons to take off one star, but somehow that ending just marred it a bit for me. Otherwise, very compelling and interesting! "

" I thought the ending was completely lame... "

" Thought his first book Presumed Innocent was better. "

Abbas | 12/27/2013
" A great read! Turow's examination of the landscapes of the heart and mind, the scalpel like cutting into the threads of motivation and care made me marvel at how wonderful the book is. Highly recommended for sheer psychological verisimilitude. "

" What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.... "

Mary Ellen McWhirter | 12/26/2013
" I liked it a lot more than I thought at the start. The beginning was more tedious than I'd like but the end just flew by. Good read, for sure. "

" a great sequel to presumed innocent "
-




Minnek8 | 10/29/2013
" This book is actually a sequel to "Presumed Innocent", which I read many years ago. This book held my interest, though I really did not recall much from the previous book as too much time (and books in between) had passed. "

Debby | 10/24/2013
" good, quick read - fun judicial mystery "
-




Meredith | 10/24/2013
" This was a very tough book to get into. There was *zero* chemistry between Rusty and "the girl" - not much more between his son and "the girl." Some interesting plot twists at the end. Not a very satisfying read. Glad it was a library book. "
-




Ed | 9/1/2013
" I thought this was a good follow up to Presumed Innocent, a story that I liked a lot. "
-




David Birt | 7/23/2013
" Haven't read such a good legal thriller in a long time. I was amused how much this was a proper sequel to "Presumed Innocent" - including the characters asking themselves how they ended up in the same position 20 years later. "
-




Rich Merritt | 5/20/2013
" This could be a textbook case on how not to write a book. "
-




Marie Powers | 4/18/2013
" Interesting but not the page-turner I expected after Presumed Innocent. Ending of the first book was explosive. This was predictable. "
-




Amy | 1/1/2013
" I always love Scott Turow but I think this book was maybe stretching a little too far back. I think he should have kept facing forward. "
-




Missy | 10/28/2012
" The sequel to Presumed Innocent. I thought I had it all figured out, but there are some interesting twists. Very good! "
-




Joanne | 8/23/2012
" It was an okay book but I found for some reason that it was not easy reading for me. This book could have been 100 pages less and still told the same story. "
-




Judith Guyot | 7/8/2012
" This is not the best of Turow's books. Slow and too many words. We got the message after the first couple of sex scenes. "
-




Bayneeta | 6/10/2012
" I liked it, but there were definitely I found some of the plot just sort of creepy or disturbing. Not clear why I like Rusty as a character, when his behavior is at times so jerky. Maybe he's just a real-life character, with real-life flaws. "
-




Kathy | 3/3/2012
" I was glad to read this consecutively with Presumed Innocent (very necessary). I felt the action lagged a bit but I was always delighted with the cool "surprises" that kept popping up when I least expected them. "
-




Daniel | 9/1/2011
" Turow is an outstanding writer. His melancholy books about lives in the law never fail to impress. "
-




Katherine | 7/10/2011
" I admire Turow's restraint--waiting all these years to revisit his central character, writing a slow (in a good way), character-driven novel. A good read, although in hindsight some of the event parallel the original book a bit too neatly. "
-




Amy | 5/17/2011
" I enjoyed reading this book although it had some similarities to Presumed Innocent.
"
-




Carolyn | 5/17/2011
" I love legal thrillers, and Turow is the best. This one is a sequel to Presumed Innocent (wish I remembered it in greater detail) and they should be read in order. This one has a nice surprise ending. Surprised me, anyway. Some of my more astute friends will doubtless guess it.

Ken | 5/14/2011
" sequel to Presumed Innocent; Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto once again do battle in the courtroom 20+ years after his last trial as Sabich is accused of murdering his wife; very good narration; excellent character development; excellent storytelling
"

Liza | 5/11/2011
" Not fantastic writing, but great plot and sucked me in for an entire Sunday. Interesting subplots and characters. However, I am glad I read Presumed Innocent just a few weeks ago (which I did not like as much) so I could make connections more easily.
"

Janie | 5/6/2011
" This was an excellent sequel to "Presumed Innocent". I will definitely be reading more of Turow's works.
"
-




Lori | 5/1/2011
" Wow. Couldn't put it down. Did he or did he not kill his wife?
"
-




Nancy | 4/22/2011
" Excellent courtroom mystery - quick, interesting read!
"
-




Jeff | 4/19/2011
" Probably would have given this book 5 stars but didn't care as much for the ending as the rest of the book. All in all, a good sequel. I'm sure we will see a movie in the future with Harrison Ford reprising his role as Rusty.
"

Inese | 3/30/2011
" Fantastic.
Read "Presumed Innocent" first .... not necessary but it'll add to your understanding.
"
-




Kathleen | 3/28/2011
" If you liked Presumed Innocent, you will like this book. You don't have to have read Presumed to enjoy this one, but you will enjoy it more if you had done.

Sheila | 3/26/2011
" Sequel to the book and movie Presumed Innocent. The original book and movie were haunting and easy to remember so the sequel was like talking to and old friend. Great beach book.
